Maryland Masters Award

The Maryland Masters Award program seeks to recognize public school students who have displayed extraordinary artistic skills, talents, and a vision for Marylandís future. During the 2013-2014 school year, 55 students from 19 jurisdictions throughout the state took part in the program. The Comptroller's goal this year is to make sure selected students from each of Marylandís 23 counties and Baltimore City, in grades K-12, have a piece of original artwork on exhibit in the Comptrollerís Office in Annapolis. The artwork will be on display for a two-month period during the 2014-2015 school year.

The Comptroller's Office has requested that each superintendent provide one piece of art from three grade levels -- elementary school, middle school and high school. In total, three pieces of art will be displayed from each of the 24 jurisdictions. Each student will be invited to a special unveiling ceremony in the studentsí home county along with their families, art teachers, classmates, school officials, and elected leaders.*

Any form of artwork will be accepted (painting, drawing, sculpture, etc.); however, paintings and sketches must be pre-framed and suitable for display upon receipt by the Comptrollerís Office. To submit selected studentís work for the award, please send a color PDF or JPG of the artwork, along with the student information form to Emily Hollis at ehollis@comp.state.md.us .
*Art unveiling ceremonies will be scheduled through Emily Hollis in conjunction with the school systemís arts coordinator upon receipt of the jurisdictions' three art submissions.

Nominations are not being sought for the 2016-2017 school year.
